I don’t know all the details but Ogg is dead, and Opus has all the advantages from low quality (Speex) to high quality (better than Ogg). It’s made by the same guys anyway. And starting at 128 kbps approximatively, it’s “near perfect” quality which means your ears won’t detect the difference with FLAC. So Opus should be as small as MP3, as good as FLAC. I love that stuff.
I use a combination of mp3s and opus primarily but I can’t remember if opus is the open format ogg or not.

And what’s the extension of opus? .opus?
Yes.
I personally can’t hear any difference with 96kbps Opus.
